Long time no speak
Right. I'm thinking of getting a track car soon, and initial thoughts were an MX-5 Mk1. It's light weight, 2 seats, rear wheel drive and very cheap. I'd have to spend a little bit of cash to get it track ready but that's fine.
But then, my father in law who owns my old blue Celica said he'd give me first refusal when he sells it. Now this has made me think.
Do I either...
Buy my old celica back for a track car. Good points is that it has brand new suspension, Wilwood brakes, new clutch, etc. It's got some tasty upgrades, and I know the history of the car. The bad points is that it's front wheel drive.
Or
Buy an MX-5 NA, and kit it out. Good points is that it'll be a very cheap light weight rear wheel drive track car, but I'd have to buy it stock, not knowing its history.
What do you guys think?
